    CRST will be a bad mistake. After your 28 days you will have to team up with another driver with only about the same experience as you maybe a little more. You will be putting you life in a strangers hand even after training and they also allow drivers with only 8 months experience to train. You will not get the training you need and deserve, in addition to that you could be stuck waiting for a co. driver for weeks after your training

    The JBS Carriers deal sounds pretty good. They are mainly meat haulers and do lots of hauling out of Colorado; Greely I think, but many other places also.

    I think CRST has some kind of dedicated flatbed account in GA with Caterpillar or some company like that.

    Personally, I would go with JBS Carriers, then re-evaluate the situation in 12 months and decide if you want to move on or stay. You will have the experience then go about anywhere you wish.

    I wouldn t recommend CRST, you go to the Greyhound in Cedar Rapids, IA and its nothing but CRST drivers getting sent home or incoming for training

    Be at CRST Monday and home on Wednesday, lol.

    I would go to JBS any day over ol' CRuSTy. You don't want to run team with another rookie. Bad things can happen while you are sleeping.

    Where you go geographic wise shouldn't matter. As long as they run the interstates in your area you'll get home. Once you become a truck driver the road is your home. Point A leads to B,C,D,E,F.....X,Y,Z.
